Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 105

It was 1am in the morning, Nan Chen who was resting on the bed heard someone pressing the doorbell.

He sprung out of bed and opened the room door to see Qiao Zhan.

Given that he would come and disturb Nan Chen at such wee hours of the night indicates that he had some news.

“The local who inquiries about information said that the village next to theirs had a group of people crossing the border, and there seemed to be two children……”

“Let’s go!” Before Qiao Zhan could finish his words, Nan Chen barged out of the door.

Three cars and over ten people rushed out of the hotel in the middle of the night.

“When did they cross the checkpoint?” Nan Chen questioned.

“I am not too sure about the time they left. They were the ones who got the news so they refused to reveal any more details to us.” The local said.

This local should be speaking the truth as it made sense. If the people were to disclose any more details, they would also be in trouble as this was an illegal matter.

“Speed up.” Nan Chen said.

The roads were very narrow and had sharp bends as it was within the villages.

Although the car was already going very fast, Nan Chen still prompted, “Go even faster!”

In the end, Nan Chen just took over the driver seat.

Qiao Zhan who was a mercenary, had fantastic driving skills. However, he discovered that Nan Chen’s driving skills were even better.

There were a few instances where the car seemed to rear off the road, but Nan Chen could bring the car back into position just within a few centimeters.

Nan Chen’s car was speeding right at the front of the group of cars, with the security team following behind. They slowly felt that they could not catch up with Nan Chen.

Qiao Zhan immediately used the walkie-talkie to get the cars behind to not tailgate Nan Chen’s car to prevent any car crashes.

Just as they were about ten kilometers away from their destination, they met with a car crash.

The cargo truck in front of them broke down and blocked the roads in front.

As the roads here were rather narrow, some time was needed for the police to reach.

In addition, the cargo truck was full of stones and even if the traffic police were to reach, much time would be needed to move the vehicle away.

What was strange was that the driver of the truck was not present in the scene.

Nan Chen immediately got Qiao Zhan to take a look at the map to search for another routes to get through.

However, there wasn’t any alternative. They were already very close to the checkpoint and were surrounded with dense forests. This was the only road available.

There were no villages nearby.

But if there were no villages, where was this cargo truck carrying sand and stones transporting them to?

It was very obvious that this cargo truck was deliberately sent over by someone to block the road.

“Get off the car, walk.” Nan Chen gave an order.

“Call back-up. Get a helicopter.”

“The process for approval is rather complicated.” Qiao Zhan said.

“Get it done first before explaining to the relevant departments, we have to save them. I will shoulder whatever consequences there are.” Nan Chen said.

“Yes.” Qiao Zhan agreed.

Everyone got off the car and dashed forward.

After walking for a few kilometers, the road got narrower and disappeared after another kilometer or so.

The local started to bring Nan Chen and his people to walk through the forests. To them, it seemed that there was no path in the forest yet the locals were able to make ways through the rough tree bark, slapping branches, uneven ground, and underbrush that tangles.

As he walked, he reminded them to be aware of poisonous snakes.

The thought of the two darlings being made to traverse across such a dangerous environment made Nan Chen’s heart sink.

The forest got denser and denser, and there was no sunlight penetrating through.

“Look, this is the checkpoint.” The local raised his torchlight.

Everyone saw the high barbed wires, with many holes created at the bottom for people to crawl through.

Nan Chen walked over and saw a piece of cloth stuck onto the barbed wire.

He picked it up and gave it a sniff.

That’s right, it was the orange blossom scent.

“How long does it take to get onto the road over there if we start walking from here?” Nan Chen questioned.

The local shook his head, “There is no road all the way. If you continue moving forward, there is no road nor person in sight. I have never been there before but I know that there is no road.”

“If there is no road, how do people leave?”

“There is a deep ravine nearby which has a broad piece of empty land. From there, one can take a helicopter and leave. This was the most dangerous yet safest route. Once they got onto the helicopter, no one would be able to catch them. Hence the costs are very high.” The local said.

“Let’s go.” Nan Chen said.

But instead of getting pass the barbed wires, he walked backwards.

Qiao Zhan thought that he wanted to give up.

“Call the back-up to get our exact location. Find a place to land.” Nan Chen said.

“We are going to take the helicopter across the checkpoint?” Qiao Zhan asked.

“We couldn’t catch up so this is the only thing we can now do.” Nan Chen said.

The local immediately stood up to persuade him, “There are armed conflicts going on in the front these days and many planes have been flying around. There was a bullet that flew into our village garden not long ago. It is very dangerous to fly through as they could mistakenly fire at you.”

“Yes, many planes fly across this checkpoint and it is very dangerous. A private plane was shot down just recently.” Qiao Zhan added.

But it felt like Nan Chen did not hear anything.

Qiao Zhan did not dare to persuade him any further as he knew that no one could sway Third Young Master once he made up his mind.

After getting out of the forest, everyone was exhausted.

The helicopter is ready, Nan Chen looked at Qiao Zhan, “You will leave with me and bring along some others, the rest will stay behind to prepare the back up.”

“Mr. Nan Chen, the few of us will get there and you may stay here. We will bring Fourth Youth Mistress and Young Master back.” Qiao Zhan tried to convince Nan Chen.

Nan Chen waved his hands, signaling for Qiao Zhan to not utter nonsense.

He got the pilot of the helicopter to get down, and got onto his pilot seat.

“Mr. Nan Chen……”

Qiao Zhan was thinking to himself, this is a helicopter, not a car. Can Nan Chen operate it?

But upon seeing his cold face, he swallowed his words before they could get out of his mouth.

Nan Chen looked through all the meters in front of him and started to operate the helicopter.

It was obvious that he was not familiar as he wouldn’t be flying a helicopter on a daily basis.

The helicopter made a lot of noise as it rose up into the sky. Qiao Zhan’s heart skipped a beat as he witness this, he was afraid that the helicopter might drop onto the ground.

Thank goodness, it did not drop down. After a short period of familiarizing himself with the helicopter, Nan Chen was able to control the helicopter at his fingertips.

Just a while after he flew the helicopter, there was a flare ahead.

It was very rare for such a thing to be seen especially in an empty piece of land.

If there was a flare, it meant that there would be people present. But an ordinary folk would not come all the way here just to burn fire.

The flare was an indicator for a plane to land.

The local once mentioned that people who chose to take this route to leave the country have no choice but to leave by a helicopter as there was no road here.

The flare must have been created by the people waiting for a helicopter to pick them out.

In such a dense forest, it would be dangerous for someone to just start a fire at a random spot.

The place where the fire was located has to be a vast empty space, which was the place for helicopter landing as mentioned previously by the local.

Apart from the flare, everything else was out of sight.

If that was a place not meant for landing of helicopters, it would be dangerous to land there.

Qiao Zhan was extremely nervous as he could not tell what decision Nan Chen would make.

Nan Chen was also hesitant. There was no evidence to prove that the fire was an indicator meant for the helicopters to land.

As such, if he landed on the area and an unexpected event happens, everyone on the plane would be in danger.

But if he did not land and missed it, Ning Ran would be picked up by someone else and it would be impossible to search for her in future.
